|
GoodPlanet, in partnership with Omega Watches, has just released a new free-to-distribute film about ocean environmentalism called Planet Ocean. When I was a child, environmentalism was becoming a mainstream concept, and this was before "eco" and "green" were hot marketing terms.

One day early this year, on the Connecticut beach where I have walked most days for the past 15 years, I came across an animal I’d never seen before, washed up in the seaweed.
